Tips To Remember Before Hitting The Waters This Summer
The most loved season of the year is back! It’s that time of the year when the ice cream trucks are just around the corner and the beach is flooded with the summer lovin’ people. But before you get all excited about hitting the beach and relaxing all day long, here are a few tips that you must keep in mind.
Summer is the time of the year when minimal clothing is what everyone prefers. Soft cotton dresses or short and crop tops are the ideal clothing choice for women whereas men like to keep it simple with a pair of shorts and sleeveless t-shirts. Remember to choose breathable materials such as cotton when choosing fishing shirts or when you are buying t-shirts to wear on a daily basis during this season. It is best to avoid dark colors and opt for pastel shades such as light pink, yellow, blue or green.
Avoid danger zones
Once the long awaited season finally arrives, most people tend to get over excited, especially the teenagers and little kids. However, it is important to keep your inner daredevil in check and remember to steer clear from the areas that are marked as danger zones. There are several water areas that are known as shark territories which most people tend to forget. In addition, certain cliff points that are marked as no diving zones are often visited by youngsters that love to challenge themselves and indulge in these rebellious acts that could be life threatening too. Therefore, it is best to avoid these areas in order to ensure a safe and happy summer.
Protect yourself
It is important to take the necessary precautions before you hit the beach. Apply sunscreen generously to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays and to avoid sun burns too. In addition, avoid swim wear that may be too tight and cause a rash on your skin. It is also necessary to wear shades and a hat to protect your eyes and to avoid a headache. If you are going sailing, wear the appropriate boat clothing along with a lifejacket to ensure your safety during the boat ride.
Research before a trip
It is obvious that most people would grab this holiday season to plan trips to exciting locations. However, it is important to check beforehand regarding the facilities provided at this area and whether you will have to pack additional items such as safety kits, extra food (in case there is no restaurant nearby), special type of clothing and any ID that you may need. Remember to be prepared and pack extra clothes, a kit of essentials such as sunscreen, towels, slippers and a first aid kit. Research in advance regarding any potential risks that may be present at the venue and the precautionary measures to take before visiting.
Now that summer is almost here, it’s time to keep this tips in mind to make sure you enjoy your summer while ensuring you stay safe too.
